WPScan is used across the WordPress ecosystem to learn about new vulnerabilities to WordPress core, themes, and plugins.  WPScan started as a simple Ruby script in 2011 to help identify vulnerabilities in self-hosted WordPress websites. The simple script matured into a large software project and gained popularity amongst the security and WordPress communities. Vulnerabilities are sourced from around the web, as well as security researchers from both the community and WPScan. In 2021, WPScan was able to double the amount of vulnerabilities added to the database compared to 2020. In total, it has cataloged more than 23,000 WordPress vulnerabilities over the last 10 years.  Read more of this post Rob Pugh | November 4, 2021 at 9:36 am | Categories: Jetpack News, Security | URL: https://wp.me/p1moTy-Afp Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Jetpack.
